The year is 2040: Owning guns is illegal The dollar is dead Gender no longer exists You walk around with a chip in you Electric vehicles are mandatory Children are taught Chinese before English But at least Ukraine got $40,000,000,000 and Republicans passed red flag laws!

The year is 2040:
Oh, oh, are we going for stupid dystopia fiction when the "otherside" takes charge?
How about...
"The year is 2040. Y'al Qaeda has made women showing any skin illegal. The dollar is fine but the plutocracy that replaced the US makes sure everyone is poor. Anyone but a straight white male is a second class citizen. Chips in your phones are still a thing, they don't need to chip people. Cars are still expensive. Your children are barely literate or educated.
But hey, at least we hero worship dictators, wanna be usurpers, and torpedoed our country to "own the libs!"
The year is 2040.
in the union, Puerto Rico has state status so the flag doesn’t change. Texfugees are buying homes by simply agreeing to take over the payments abandoned by those who flocked to become Texicans before Texit. Guns, alcohol, weed are all regulated.
No school shootings since Dunblane in 1996. Pound Sterling is fine. LGBT rights protected via a combination of anti-discrimination laws, 2013 Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, and bigots denied their right to homophobic speech because of the umbrella law Section 5 of the Public Order Act. To my knowledge, the only chip in my electric bikes are the battery management ones and those in the displays for such. Children at Drag Queen Story Hours told tales by men/trans women probably wearing a Cheongsam: meanwhile, your computer - or most of it’s components in such - is made in China, OP. Hypersonic anti-aircraft (certainly Mil MI-28-obliterating) missiles supplied to Ukraine: T72 tanks via Poland in return for Challenger IIs given to them.
2022: and in a Britain governed by a Conservative Prime Minister referred to by your precious Donald Fart as a ‘Terrific Guy'.
Welcome to the present - never mind the future - you white rightards are now more than forced to live in. But at least you can get the fuck off our planet.
The year is 2022. Charlie Kirk is offended that other people exist, and are protected by the same laws that protect him, thereby reducing his specialness. He throws a tantrum at the thought of a world beyond his limited scope, hammering away at his keyboard as he cranks out yet another fanfic power fantasy where his oppression-kink is on full display.
And because Chuckles Kirk has all the capacity for self-reflection of a week-old sandwich, he fails to realize that it isn't the proposed gun control bills, or China being a thing, or the myriad gender and sexual identities that stir him to a frothing fury of speculative wankery, it's that, even now, in the age of billionaire astronauts and near-instantaneous information overload, there is still no cure for thumbheadedness.
The year is 2040. Every white conservative male owns an AK-47 and totes it everywhere; anyone else possessing a gun is just asking to get slaughtered along with everyone else nearby. Mass shootings happen an average of 1.4 times per hour, usually in response to someone refusing to comply with demands which are illegal, impossible within the available time and resources, or even literally impossible. The cops mostly arrest people for complying with illegal demands under the threat of mass slaughter. The last two Americans die in a hail of each other’s bullets in 2054 over a trivial disagreement.
I find this fascinating, because I always wondered what the 21st Century would look like. I never thought I would see it. Thanks to a universal brain fart here I am, however.
The year is 2022. Humanity is facing an existential crisis, but a good portion of the United States is willing to ignore that in order to fight over the second amendment and what it means even despite weekly mass shootings,
The richest man in the world is both a bigot and an asshole. And he believes the world is *underpopulated*.
The Christian Right in the United States is trying to turn it into a theocracy while at the same time claiming to honour the Constitution. The last president tried to hold on to power through a coup attempt that failed.
And people of this era are concerned about gender identity as if it's anyone's business but that of the person experiencing the dysphoria.
Within 30 years 95% of the coral reefs on Earth will be dead. We, humanity, have kicked off the sixth mass extinction and we ourselves maybe victims of it. Instead of working together to find a solution to the problem we created, we're fracturing more and more while conspiracy theories outpace rational thought.

It is indeed disquieting to see most world leaders waste time on divisive items, pseudo-science and preaching ultranationalism, while real problems are ocurring and becoming worse and worse because of inaction or even negative actions.
It’s 2040. Owning guns is required. Gasoline engines are banned, and pollution has increased to the point where anyone going outside has to carry an oxygen tank and wear a sunshield. The crypto crash of 2035 has destroyed the economy and everyone is reduced to barter. Esperanto is the world’s official language. Gender identification is irrelevant except to those few who can afford to have children. Donald Trump is complaining the the 2020 election was stolen and should be rerun.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
